வந்தது யார் என் மனதில்
நின்றது யார் என் உயிரில்
ஆஹா தூவானம் தேன் தூவும்
என்ன புது தாகம் சுக ராகம்
Who entered my heart?
Who stands residing in my soul?
Ah, the drizzle sprinkles honey!
What a new thirst, what a blissful melody!
யார்க்கு யார் என்று எழுதி வைத்த
ஓ பிரம்ம தேவனே
எனக்கு இவள் என்று எழுதி வைத்த
என் காதல் அறிஞனே
அமுதக் கடலில் சிறு படகு போல்
தினமும் மிதக்கிறேன் மிதக்கிறேன்
இதயக் கோவிலுக்குள் விளக்கு ஏற்றி வைக்க
அழைக்கிறேன் வரவேற்கிறேன் உன்னை
வா வா யாரும் இல்லாத
தீவுக்குள் வாசம் செய்வோம்
போவோமா கைகள் தான் கோர்த்து

Oh Lord Brahma!
Who wrote that she is meant for me,
My wise master of love!
Like a small boat in an ocean of nectar,
Every day I float and float.

The one who wrote who is destined for whom,

Who wrote that she is meant for me,
My wise master of love!
இமய மலை உயரத்திலே
பறக்கட்டும் நம் காதல் கொடி
ஏறி நின்று மகிழ்ந்த படி
வலம் வரட்டும் பருவக் கொடி
At the height of the Himalayan mountains,
Let our flag of love fly!
Standing atop with joy,
May the tender vine of youth circle around!
தினமும் உன்னை ரசித்த படி
என் பொழுது புலருமடி
உனது இதழ் பனி மழையில்
மன மலர்கள் மலருமடி
அன்பின் இழைகள் கொண்டு நான்
உனது சேலை நெய்கிறேன்
எந்தன் நெஞ்சின் தாளத்தை
உனது கொலுசில் கேட்கிறேன்
தூரல் போடும் சாரல் தூவும்
காதல் மேகங்கள் காதல் மேகங்கள்
Everyday, as I admire you,
My day dawns, my dear!
In the dew-rain of your lips,
The flowers of my mind bloom, my dear!
With threads of love, I...
Weave your saree.
The rhythm of my heart,
I hear in the sound of your anklets.
Drizzling and spraying mist,
Clouds of love, clouds of love!
யார்க்கு யார் என்று எழுதி வைத்த

தலையணையாய் நான் கிடப்பேன்
நீ உறங்க மடி கொடுப்பேன்
இமை விலக இனிய இசை
உன் விரலில் இசைத்திடுவேன்
I will lie down as a pillow for you,
I will offer my lap for you to sleep.
As eyelids part, sweet music...
I will play with your fingers.
நகம் கடிக்கும் பொழுதினிலும்
முகம் சுளித்தால் துடி துடிப்பேன்
சிறு துரும்பாய் இமை கவிழ்ந்தால்
மனச் சிறகால் பட படப்பேன்
ஏதோ ஒன்று சொல்லடி
இதோ என்று செய்கிறேன்
விதை ஒன்று போடடி
தோட்டம் ஆக்கிக் காட்டுவேன்
உனக்கும் எனக்கும் அமையும் வாழ்க்கை
யார்க்கும் அமையாது யார்க்கும் அமையாது

If your face frowns, my heart twitches in anxiety.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic song expresses deep gratitude towards Lord Brahma (the creator in Hindu mythology) for bringing two lovers together as soulmates. The protagonist marvels at how fate has aligned their paths and praises love as a divine force. Through vivid imagery, he describes his blissful emotional state, comparing his happiness to floating like a boat in a sea of nectar and welcoming his beloved into the temple of his heart. The lyrics further explore the themes of devotion, emotional intimacy, and unconditional care. The protagonist vows to protect and comfort his lover through life's small moments, promising to turn her slightest desires into reality. He visualizes a beautiful future where their love flies high like a flag atop the Himalayas, isolated and pure, creating an enviable bond that no one else can replicate.
